The world has become ordspråk

The world has become uglier since it began to look into a mirror every day; so let us settle for the mirror image and do without an inspection of the original

Karl Kraus (1874-1936)

Världen

The fault is in the mirror that reflects, the mind that perceives, the brain that infers. What the mirror presents as true has no authenticity. The mirror is coated with dust and its face is not plain at all. God has no maya; He has no intention or need to delude, nor does He will that it should happen.

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

If I make the lashes dark
And the eyes more bright
And the lips more scarlet,
Or ask if all be right
From mirror after mirror,
No vanity's displayed:
I'm looking for the face I had
Before the world was made.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)

You don't want mirror, mirror, mirror in your home. You lose the impact if you use too much of it.

Richelle Cline

A man's true wealth is the good he does in the world. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror. But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

LOOKING-GLASS, n. A vitreous plane upon which to display a fleeting show for man's disillusion given. The King of Manchuria had a magic looking-glass, whereon whoso looked saw, not his own image, but only that of the king. A certain courtier who had long enjoyed the king's favor and was thereby enriched beyond any other subject of the realm, said to the king:
"Give me, I pray, thy wonderful mirror, so that when absent out of thine august presence I may yet do homage before thy visible shadow, prostrating myself night and morning in the glory of thy benign countenance, as which nothing has so divine splendor, O Noonday Sun of the Universe!" Please with the speech, the king commanded that the mirror be conveyed to the courtier's palace; but after, having gone thither without apprisal, he found it in an apartment where was naught but idle lumber. And the mirror was dimmed with dust and overlaced with cobwebs. This so angered him that he fisted it hard, shattering the glass, and was sorely hurt. Enraged all the more by this mischance, he commanded that the ungrateful courtier be thrown into prison, and that the glass be repaired and taken back to his own palace; and this was done. But when the king looked again on the mirror he saw not his image as before, but only the figure of a crowned ass, having a bloody bandage on one of its hinder hooves --as the artificers and all who had looked upon it had before discerned but feared to report. Taught wisdom and charity, the king restored his courtier to liberty, had the mirror set into the back of the throne and reigned many years with justice and humility; and one day when he fell asleep in death while on the throne, the whole court saw in the mirror the luminous figure of an angel, which remains to this day.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

All these things have you said of beauty.
Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and your are the mirror.

Kahlil Gibran (1883-1931)

I have to look at myself in the mirror and see what I've got to do to make this team better. Everybody has to look in the mirror to see what they are going to do to make this team better. And do it. Don't point the finger. Don't blame the coach. Blame yourself, look in the mirror and come out and play hard. (Expletive) everybody else.

Rashard Lewis

We're doing a 10-foot-high golden retriever looking at a reflection in a mirror. If you look at it from any angle, you see what you'd see if you looked in a mirror.

Tom Day

I said six years ago when I took this job that with Jeff Gordon driving, I was going to carry a pocket mirror around. When we're not running good, I need to look in the mirror.

Robbie Loomis

I'd be the kind of person walking in and sitting around with a bunch of executives and handing each one a mirror and saying, 'All right, look in the mirror -- that's the problem.'

John Wanous

I think it's very important for my team to know that as a young man I was influenced so much by Ron McBride, ... Players are a mirror of their coach. I can honestly say I tried to mirror his personality.

Pat Hill

I am a big believer in the ''mirror test.'' All that matters is if you can look in the mirror and honestly tell the person you see there, that you've done your best.

John McKay (1923-)

We had a long meeting today [Saturday]. We really had to re-evaluate ourselves and look at each other in the mirror. There were a lot of things that were said about guys needing to look at each other in the mirror and come out with a better attitude tonight.

Derek Damon (1980-)

Jag brukade se mig själv i spegeln med skam, nu tittar jag mig i spegeln och jag verkligen älskar mig själv.

I used to look in the mirror and feel shame, I look in the mirror now and I absolutely love myself.

Drew Barrymore (1975-)
